Clothing article system and method of use

ABSTRACT

A clothing article system provides a drop-down gusset attached to the inside of a mans article of clothing to support a man&#39;s penis. The gusset follows one of the legs of the article of clothing so that the penis is directed and controlled to eliminate bulges or unsightly evidence of a man&#39;s arousal.

BACKGROUND 1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates generally to a new design of an article ofclothing. More specifically, the invention is related to a system andmethod of design of a men's underwear, brief or boxer.

2. Description of Related Art

Systems and methods for designs for men's underwear is well known in theart. Men usually wear an article of clothing that covers male genitalia,buttocks and the upper portions of the thighs. It is important to haveunderwear that is comfortable and breathable. It acts to support malegenitalia and separate the skin from more abrasive clothing like jeansand other materials used for outer clothing. FIG. 1 depicts a commonunderwear type system 101 and design of a conventional men's brief. Thebrief 101 traditionally is comprised of a breathable material incylindrical shape forming a cylindrical cavity 107 with an elasticwaistband 105 at the top, and two circular apertures for a person's legs109, 111 to passthrough thus generally enclosing the groin area.

One of the problems commonly associated with process 101 is the limiteduse. For example, most designs of men's briefs force the male genetaliato be held tightly against the body which is very uncomfortable. Thiscan become even more painful when a male becomes aroused, causing themale member to be pushed into the middle seam of the underwear. It isalso inconvenient to have the enlarged male member conspicuous to otherpeople. This further increases the importance of having comfortableunderclothing as a way to increase modesty.

Although great strides have been made in the area of men's underclothingand methods of design and use, many shortcomings remain.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Illustrative embodiments of the system and method of use of the presentapplication are provided below. It will of course be appreciated that inthe development of any actual embodiment, numerousimplementation-specific decisions will be made to achieve thedeveloper's specific goals, such as compliance with system-related andbusiness-related constraints, which will vary from one implementation toanother. Moreover, it will be appreciated that such a development effortmight be complex and time-consuming, but would nevertheless be a routineundertaking for those of ordinary skill in the art having the benefit ofthis disclosure.

The system and method of use in accordance with the present applicationovercomes one or more of the above-discussed problems commonlyassociated with conventional systems and designs of men's underwear.Specifically, the present invention is directed to a men's brief thathas a gusset that guides a large or aroused male genital along and downthe leg. This allows the wearer to be more discrete and morecomfortable. These and other unique features of the system and method ofuse are discussed below and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

The system and method of use will be understood, both as to itsstructure and operation, from the accompanying drawings, taken inconjunction with the accompanying description. Several embodiments ofthe system are presented herein. It should be understood that variouscomponents, parts, and features of the different embodiments may becombined together and/or interchanged with one another, all of which arewithin the scope of the present application, even though not allvariations and particular embodiments are shown in the drawings. Itshould also be understood that the mixing and matching of features,elements, and/or functions between various embodiments is expresslycontemplated herein so that one of ordinary skill in the art wouldappreciate from this disclosure that the features, elements, and/orfunctions of one embodiment may be incorporated into another embodimentas appropriate, unless described otherwise.

Referring now to the drawings wherein like reference characters identifycorresponding or similar elements throughout the several views, FIGS.2-6 depict various views of a clothing article system 201 and method ofuse in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the presentapplication. It will be appreciated that system 201 overcomes one ormore of the above-listed problems commonly associated with theconventional underwear type systems and designs of men's underwearbriefs.

The clothing article system 201 is contemplated utilizing a main body301 and a front covering 203 configured to overcome the problemscommonly associated with conventional men's briefs and underwear.

Referring now to FIGS. 2 and 3, a front and side view, respectively, ofthe system 201 depict the preferred embodiment of the present invention.System 201 is shown and includes an oblong waistband 205 forming theouter circumference 207 of the of the main body 203 of the men's brief.It is anticipated that the waistband 205 is made of a flexible orelastic material that is comfortable and provides support for the briefon the hips of the user. A front covering 209 is shown attached to themain body 203 which is configured to cover the male genitalia. Twoseparate circular apertures 211, 213 are depicted and configured toallow the user's leg to pass through so that the main body 203 restsover and around the pelvic area of the user.

In the contemplated embodiment, the main body 203 includes a soft,flexible and breathable fabric. A guiding gusset 215 is attached andconfigured to be close to the main body when the article is either notbeing worn, or when the user is not aroused. The guiding gusset 215having a joint 217 that attaches the guiding gusset 215 to the main body203

It will be understood that the main body 203 could have non-circularfeatures such as extra material 301 to accommodate for the buttockswithout deviating from the intent of this disclosure.

Referring now to FIGS. 4, a front side view of the main body 203 of thesystem 201 in use is shown and includes a waistband 205, an aperture 207to encompass the waist area, two apertures 211, 213 to cover the upperthigh. In use the guiding gusset 215 expands downward along insidematerial of the front covering of the main body 203 along one of thelegs 403. The guiding gusset 215 creates a space for a male member toextend into when a male becomes aroused. Alternatively, the guidinggusset 215 allows for males with larger members to be generally morecomfortable than in traditional men's briefs. The embodiment alsoincludes a shelf gusset 405 allows for a man's testicles to be supportedmore comfortably than traditional underwear via two seams that flankeither side of a man's testicles.

Referring now to FIG. 5, a front view of the guiding gusset 215 of thesystem of FIG. 2, is shown as a separate pattern of material configuredto remain tight against the front covering of the main body 203 of themen's brief but will expand to house and guide the male penis down alongone of the legs. This guiding gusset 215 allows the wearer to minimizethe appearance of the aroused male genitalia as it is flattened againstone of the legs and is all around more comfortable for those males whohave generally larger male genitals. This is not only more comfortableand discrete, it is also healthier for the male since tight pressure inthis area of the body decreases sperm count.

Referring now to FIG. 6 an alternative embodiment of the system 201 isdepicted. Embodiment 601 includes features similar to system 201 whereinthe guiding gusset 605 is attached to the inner surface of a main body607 of a boxer style underwear near the fly opening 603.

In the preferred embodiment, it is anticipated that clothing articlesystem 201 is a stand-alone men's brief or boxer as depicted by FIG. 6or other configuration of underclothing. In an alternate embodiment, theclothing article system 201 could be incorporated into other clothingarticles such as swim-suits or athletic wear which could also benefitfrom the additional benefits of comfort that are offered by clothingarticle system 201.
